wait for it

This is very cool, also - what the hell are we looking at?

ngl i thought it was gonna be this

Are you working on some neutral graph rewriting or smth?

For now mostly exploring the literature, but maybe. This simulation is inspired by

Emerson

What just happened there?

how many buckyballs would it take to try & replicate: a couple of thousands maybe. though at this point i suspect they'd be flying all over the place

amazing!! what causes that rapid transition at the end?

Well that's kinda disappointing. I liked it up to the point where the random mutations on the old cells disabled the chain but why the fuck would it randomly grow a tumor like that? "Oh yeah, and randomly become a flower" is not the emergent behaviour that made this satisfying in the first 90% of runtime. Or did it randomly activate a bunch of glowy "producer" cells right next to each other and it exploded into a fractal? But then why did the fractal stop growing like that? It isn't obvious that these cells have a reproductive limit... What am I not getting?

"Gradually, and then suddenly"

Don't just post this and walk away. Explain!

Okay, that's beautiful. On the technical side, what stack do you use to compute/render this? Is it some kind of barebones C++ OpenGL animation or do you use some sort of library? Or is it web-based? Kudos...

Very beautiful. I attempted to create a similar piece: a journey from DNA to cells, to a beating heart, to the tree of life, culminating in a final, blooming crescendo.

Biological fractal fireworks 😊

That's what it looks like when life starts.

wow, what am I looking at?

PCR poped out its parachute at last

Is this a cancer sim?

Thought I was looking at thymine dimers for a sec. Neat animation

that's so cool. what type of mechanics are you using?

This is very cool. What did you use to create it? Is it running on the GPU or something easier?

Is that like game of life but graph instead of grid

Wow , it’s beautiful, the emergence at the end !! Life is magical , math and logic are mysterious

definitely onto it here

very nice!!

Did that thing just nut

😍👾😍

are these like.... commits?

yoooooo

I'm sad it didn't turn into Dickbutt

WOW!

Pure awesomeness! I had to work, but I guess I will read stuff about graph automata :D

kinda cool analog to the it from bit start to reality.

Algorithm please
